    What have we here?... (I.D. help.)

    Found this charmed in macomb county MI, in the same area I usually fiñd Butlers.
    We also have easterner arouñd here, but this fellow doesn't look like our local snakes.
    What do you think it is?









    Barest hint of a yellow stripe on his head, no black striping, lots of olive green and yellow with red brown spots. Skin between sçales is turquoise-green red and tan. Not really any true black on him- dàrk areas look faded out or bleached to brown.
    Thanks for helping.

    At first glance I see T.s.sirtalis and some T.s.parietalis. I don't think T.s.parietalis ranges in your area though.

    Very interesting looking snake.

    Looks like an eastern to me. A really uniquely patterned and coloured eastern! Im pretty sure I have seen a few similar easterns on here.

    I really appreciated all of the French and Spanish accents by the way. I was sounding the words out in my head

    Re: What have we here?... (I.D. help.)

    He was an urban find, and I've seen no others like him soil can't say he wasn't brought in and dumped. He was badly constipated and dehydrated when found but his color has remained the same as his health has improved.

    I'm tempted to bred him, or see him bred into someone eldest line but I have no idea what he would be compatible with.

    Sorry about my unique typesetting- my Wrist smartphone often has a miñd of her own.

    I'm sure you know this but just in case.. A good warm soaking will help with the constipation

    I'll agree with breeding. A snake that nice deserves to have his genes passed on.
